    I signed my dog up for training at the SMART dog school in union, Randy the owner agreed he would be able to task train my service dog. Well, he fired multiple trainers and never filled the shoes of training my dog. I was also guaranteed a life time of training but I never even got a consistent two months. They have switched scheduling applications more times than I can count I’ve had multiple issues with the apps and I’ve let multiple trainers and the schedulers know and nothing was resolved. I’ve brought up behavioral concerns in my dog that were never addressed. I asked the owner for a refund and he told me our communication is over. I’m very unsatisfied with the business my dog was training less than 10 times I was suppose to receive videos of the training that also never happened. I’m requesting a refund so that I can put my dog through the appropriate training needed. The owner is very unprofessional and told me I need to view the refund policy which I never signed or seen.

    Customer Service sucks! Took two classes and realized the training was not going to work for our family situation. We were not able to utilize the training to be beneficial for us. I asked for a partial refund. They didn't even bother to understand our reasoning. I'm out over $3000 & feel like I'm being bullied to take the training anyway. Word of advice: Don't pay upfront. Make payments, it's not worth the discount.
